MAYSON IS SILENT
ON CONGRESS RACE
Will Hon. Jfemes L. Mayson. Attan
tn’s city attorney, be a candidate for
congress against Hon. L. F. Living
ston, the Incumbent 7
This Is quite a big question In pol
itics, but It Is no less a question than
It was six weeks ago. Mr. Mayson
does not seem to know the answer
himself, and If he does know hs will
not tell.
The Young Men's Prohibition League
has indorsed the city attorney. There
Is no doubt of the fact that his friends
are urging him to make the race, and
not a few are greeting him now as
“Congressman Mayson.” <
"ft Is a great honor to be a con
gressman,” says Colonel Mayson. This
is about ns- near os he comes to mak
ing any definite statement.
"Yes. I understand the Young Men's
Prohibition League indorsed me for
the place,” admitted the city attor
ney.
"There are hundreds and hundreds
of things one must take Into consid
eration before entering a race for such
a position as congressman,” he stated
further.
"Of course, after a man has been
publicly Indorsed for congressman it
In nothing but natural that he should
be thinking about It. I have no state
ment to make.” This also from the
city attorney.
And the politically wise say that if
Hon. James L. Mayson does decide to
make the race, for congress there will
not be any question as to whether or
not he Is running, unless some opine
he Is flying.

LOCKER TAX WON’T
AFFECT THE LAW
“I am not at all alarmed over the
locker tax law. .It will not Interfere
with the enforcement of the prohibi
tion law, and It will not make dry
counties wet.”
That Is the way Dr. J. C. Solomon,
state superintendent of the Anti-Sa
loon League, regards the tax which
has been arousing many prohibition
ists throughout the state.
Dr. Solomon declares that when
club takes out a license for lockers,
the limelight will be thrown upon such
a club, and that It will only put the
officials who enforce the law on no
tlce that It will bear Investigation.
“The tax,” said Dr. Solomon, "does
not permit liquor to be sold and only
taxes something which the law can
not prevent.. The enforcement of the
law will be vigorous throughout the
state and-the surest w ay In the world
to break Into the chalngang Is to sell
liquor In a club that Is supposed to
have It In lockers.
"There Is no cause for alarm. And
I want to Impress upon the prohibi
tionists of the state that we do not
consider the loeker tax In any such
light.”
FIVE MILLS TAX
FIXEDJR STATE
At a meeting between Governor
Smith and Comptroller General Wright
Wednesday morning the state tax fate
for 1907 was fixed at the maximum al
lowed under the law, five mills on the
dollar.
Of this 8.08 mills la for the general
fund, out of which pensions and other
expenses are met. For schools 1.80 was
levied, and tor the sinking fund .15.
It Is Impossible to tell yet what
amount of Income this will yield, as
several big corporations’ tax returns
have not yet been arbitrated, and un
til these matters are settled It will not
be possible to estimate the Income
from direct taxes. The total amount
from direct taxes and other sources
will be close to $4,500,00(1.

SAVE A MILLION
TO PASSENGERS
If what the railroads claim they will
lose by putting on reduced railroad
fares In Georgia will be the people's
gain, folks who buy railroad tickets In
tho' state will save a snug pile each
year.
All told, it Is over $1,000,000. With
the exception of the Seaboard Air Line,
figures of what the reduced rates will
cost the railroads have been given out,
but what It will cost the Seaboard
could not be ascertained from officials
In Atlanta.
The officials of the Atlanta and West
Point road figure out it will cost the
road $90,000 a year; tho Central of
Georgia figures are $290,000 a year; the
Atlantic Coast Line people believe It
will cost the road $250,000 annually,
while the figures for the Southern are
placed at about $285,000. All these
reach nearly a million dollars, and,
with the Seaboard, will be over a mil
lion.
Officials of that road In Atlanta were
unable to figure It out. but It Is be
lieved that the cost to this road will be
In the neighborhood of what It costs the
other big trunk lines.
The Indications, however, are that If
the roads lose this much In reduced
fares, and do not make It up In In
creased travel, there will be some elfm.
Inatlng of other reduced rates for con
ventions, which will balance up the loss.

TWO BURGLARS;
NO POLICEMAN
When Mrs. B. Lee Smith, of 170
Highland avenue, found two negro
men calmly Investigating the Interior

hastened to the telephone and called
up the police station, asking for an
officer.
''Haven't got anybody to send now.
Call up later,” was all the satisfaction
she received. A second message
celved the same answer. Meanwhile,
the negroes escaped. They had entered
through the open front door, bent on
carrying away whar they could, but
they made their escape without se
curing anything of value.
When Chief Jennings was Informed
of the failure to reach a policeman,
he Investigated and was told that
there was no record of a call from
Highland avenue.
